RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: As a frequent disease, prostatic hyperplasia could be treated by transurethral resection of prostate (TURP). However, postoperative pain may affect the prognosis of patients to some extent, so exploring reasonable anaesthetic drugs is an important measure to reduce the recovery period of anaesthesia. This study used the combination of ropivacaine and nalbuphine for intraoperative anaesthesia in patients undergoing TURP to investigate its effect on pain during anaesthesia recovery. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on the clinical data of 205 patients with prostatic hyperplasia who underwent TURP in our hospital from June 2020 to December 2022. All patients experienced epidural anaesthesia, and 110 patients who used ropivacaine combined with nalbuphine were included in the study group, whereas 95 patients who used ropivacaine and lidocaine were classified as the control group. The Visual Analogue Scale was used to evaluate the pain conditions of patients. The levels of pain mediators, such as substance P (SP), bradykinin (BK) and histamine (HIS), the stress levels, including cortisol (Cort), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and norepinephrine (NE), and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: At T0 (postoperative 30 min), T1 (postoperative 60 min), T2 (postoperative 2 h) and T3 (postoperative 4 h), the study group had significantly lower pain scores (p < 0.01), levels of SP, BK and HIS (p < 0.001), and levels of Cort, ACTH and NE (p < 0.05) than the control group. No statistical difference was observed in the incidences of adverse reactions between the two groups (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The combination of ropivacaine and nalbuphine has a notable analgesic effect during anaesthesia recovery in patients undergoing TURP. It inhibits the secretion of pain and physical stress indicators and relieves postoperative pain to a large extent.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the role of dexmedetomidine in potentiating the local anaesthetic efficacy of a low dose of bupivacaine when used as an adjuvant. STUDY DESIGN: A prospective, double-blind, randomised study. Place and Duration of the Study: Department of Anaesthesia, Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation, Karachi, Pakistan, from July 2021 to February 2022. METHODOLOGY: One hundred and eight patients of ASA physical class I-III undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) under sub-arachnoid block (SAB) were enroled and distributed into two equal groups. Group BUPIPURE (BP) was given 7.5 mg of pure 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacain whereas group BUPIDEX (BD) was given 6 mg of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacain with 3 µg dexmedetomidine intrathecally. The effects in Both groups were compared using chi-square and unpaired t-tests. A significance level of p <0.05 was used to evaluate the statistical significance. RESULTS: Both groups demonstrated a steady decrease in mean heart rate (mean HR 98.9-62.7 per minute as compared to 79.1-59.4 per minute in groups BP and BD, respectively), however, no patient reached to HR <50/min. Group BP had a higher HR variability than group BD. The two groups' median peak sensory levels were similar. However, a statistically significant difference was revealed in the time taken for 2-segment regression (87.5 ± 11.3 min vs. 115.5 ± 6.2 min p <0.001 in BP and BD), as well as the time to reach T10 sensory level (13.56 ± 2.5 min vs. 10.9 ± 3.0 min p <0.001). CONCLUSION: In patients having TURP, intrathecal dexmedetomidine combined with low-dose bupivacaine results in a quicker start, extended sensory and motor block, and a decreased need for rescue analgesics. KEY WORDS: Adjuvants, Dexmedetomidine, Spinal anaesthesia, Transurethral Resection of Prostate.

BACKGROUND: One-fourth of men older than 70 years have lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) that impair their quality of life. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is considered the gold standard for surgical treatment of LUTS caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) that cannot be managed conservatively or pharmacologically. However, TURP is only an option for patients fit for surgery and can result in complications. Transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT) and prostatic artery embolisation (PAE) are alternative minimally invasive surgical therapies (MISTs) performed in an outpatient setting. Both treatments have shown to reduce LUTS with a similar post-procedure outcome in mean International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS). It is however still unknown if TUMT and PAE perform equally well as they have never been directly compared in a randomised clinical trial. The objective of this clinical trial is to assess if PAE is non-inferior to TUMT in reducing LUTS secondary to BPH. METHODS: This study is designed as a multicentre, non-inferiority, open-label randomised clinical trial. Patients will be randomised with a 1:1 allocation ratio between treatments. The primary outcome is the IPSS of the two arms after 6 months. The primary outcome will be evaluated using a 95% confidence interval against the predefined non-inferiority margin of + 3 points in IPSS. Secondary objectives include the comparison of patient-reported and functional outcomes at short- and long-term follow-up. We will follow the patients for 5 years to track long-term effect. Assuming a difference in mean IPSS after treatment of 1 point with an SD of 5 and a non-inferiority margin set at the threshold for a clinically non-meaningful difference of + 3 points, the calculated sample size was 100 patients per arm. To compensate for 10% dropout, the study will include 223 patients. DISCUSSION: In this first randomised clinical trial to compare two MISTs, we expect non-inferiority of PAE to TUMT. The most prominent problems with MIST BPH treatments are the unknown long-term effect and the lack of proper selection of candidates for a specific procedure. With analysis of the secondary outcomes, we aspire to contribute to a better understanding of durability and provide knowledge to guide treatment decisions.

BACKGROUND: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a prevalent condition in aging males, leading to bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and associated urinary symptoms. With increasing life expectancy, the incidence of BPH and its co-morbidities, like inguinal hernia, has risen. This study explores the efficacy of combining transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and inguinal hernioplasty in a single surgical session to address both conditions, potentially reducing the need for multiple hospitalizations and surgical interventions. METHODS: This retrospective study at Chi Mei Medical Center included patients from 2014 to 2023 who underwent concurrent TURP and inguinal hernioplasty. A total of 85 patients met the criteria defined for this study. Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative characteristics were meticulously documented. Outcomes evaluated included the duration of the surgery, incidence of intraoperative and postoperative complications, duration of Foley catheterization, length of hospital stay, and treatment efficacy. Additionally, we conducted a comparative assessment of the surgical outcomes between two distinct techniques for inguinal hernia repair: open hernioplasty and laparoscopic hernioplasty (LH). RESULTS: In 85 patients who met the criteria, the mean age was 71.1 ± 7.8 years. The study reported no significant intraoperative complications, and postoperative care was focused on monitoring for blood loss, infection, and managing pain. The average postoperative hospital stay was 2.9 ± 1.0 days and the mean duration of catheterization was 51.6 ± 16.7 h, with a minimal complication rate observed during the one-year follow-up. A significant reduction in both operative duration and catheterization interval was observed in patients undergoing LH as opposed to those receiving open hernioplasty. CONCLUSION: Concurrent TURP and inguinal hernioplasty effectively manage BOO due to BPH and inguinal hernias with minimal complications, suggesting a viable approach to reducing hospital stays and surgical interventions. Laparoscopic techniques, in particular, offer benefits in operative efficiency and recovery time, making combined surgery a feasible option for selected patients.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of cluster nursing care based on 10S continuous quality improvement (CQI) on the incidence of postoperative delirium in patients with BPH. METHODS: This study included 96 BPH patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in our department from August 2021 to February 2023. We randomly divided the patients into two groups of equal number to receive routine postoperative nursing care (the control group) and postoperative cluster nursing care based on the 10S DQI mode (the observation group), respectively. We recorded and compared the delirium scores of the patients at 2, 6, 12 and 24 hours after operation, their status of recovery, scores on Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and quality of life (QOL), and incidence of complications between the two groups. RESULTS: Compared with the controls, the patients in the observation group showed significantly lower delirium scores at 2 h (12.72±3.54 vs 10.65±2.87, P<0.05), 6 h (20.17±4.92 vs 14.19±4.64, P<0.01), 12 h (16.82±4.24 vs 10.69±3.18, P<0.01) and 24 h (13.61±2.86 vs 9.13±2.12, P<0.01) after operation, and shorter time to ambulation (ï¼»3.65±1.41ï¼½ vs ï¼»2.84±0.83ï¼½ d, P<0.01) and time of postoperative catheterization (ï¼»6.28±1.65ï¼½ vs ï¼»4.28±1.14ï¼½ d, P<0.01), bladder irrigation (ï¼»3.41±1.08ï¼½ vs ï¼»2.25±0.71ï¼½ d, P<0.01) and hospitalization (ï¼»10.33±2.41ï¼½ vs ï¼»7.82±2.06ï¼½ d, P<0.01). No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in either the SAS and SDS scores (P >0.05) or the QOL scores before operation (P >0.05), but the former two were dramatically decreased (P<0.01) while the latter one increased in the observation group postoperatively (P<0.01). Postoperative complications included delirium, bladder spasm, urethral pain, and secondary bleeding, with a significantly lower total incidence rate in the observation than in the control group (12.50% vs 52.08%, P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Cluster nursing care based on 10S CQI can promote the postoperative recovery of BPH patients, improve their psychological status and quality of life, and reduce the incidence of delirium and complications.

The treatment of male severe stress incontinence (MUI) after surgery is the implantation of an artificial urinary sphincter (AUS). Traditionally you need two incisions: perineal and inguinal. Our objetive is present a series of patients treated with the Zephyr 375 EUA implant through a single perineal incision. We present six men operated on for MUI after Transuretral resection of the prostate (TURP) (1) and radical prostatectomy (5). Preoperatively we perform Pad-Test and cystoscopy. Under epidural anesthesia, a vertical perineal incision was made and dissection up to the bulbospongiosus muscle was divided and we dissected the bulbar urethra. After removing the probe, we place the cuff, checking that it reaches the appropriate pressure, leaving it deactivated. To place the pump-reservoir, we digitally develop a scrotal dartos pocket from the perineum that we close with Vicryl 3/0. After closing the muscle with 3/0 Vicryl, we left a suction drain and a bladder catheter. The mean age was 63 years (55-72). Mean surgical time was 68 minutes (60-85). All were discharged the next day without catheter and drain. All patients comfortably palpated the scrotal reservoir-pump. After activation, all patients were continent without needing additional adjustment, using 3 a safety pad. The degree of satisfaction was very high, all of them affirmed that they would undergo the same intervention again. The Zephyr 375 urinary sphincter allows placement through a single perineal incision, reducing surgical time, simplifying the technique, and reducing morbidity without compromising the functional outcome.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the application value of ultrasound technology in transurethral enucleation and resection of the prostate (TUERP). METHODS: This study included 78 BPH patients admitted in our hospital from June 2021 to June 2023, aged 70.68±8.63 years and with the indication of surgery. We randomly divided them into two groups to receive TUERP (the control group, n = 39) and ultrasound-assisted TUERP (the US-TUERP group, n = 39). We statistically analyzed and compared the relevant parameters obtained before and after operation between the two groups. RESULTS: No statistically significant differences were observed in the operation time and bladder irrigation time between the two groups (P > 0.05). More glandular tissues were removed but less intraoperative bleeding and fewer perioperative complications occurred in the US-TUERP group than in the control. Compared with the baseline, IPSS, postvoid residual urine volume (PVR), quality of life score (QOL) and maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) were significantly improved in both groups at 1 and 3 months after surgery, even more significantly in the US-TUERP than in the control group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: US-TUERP helps achieve complete resection of the hyperplastic prostatic tissue along the surgical capsule at the anatomical level, with a higher safety, fewer perioperative complications, and better therapeutic effects.

Background and Objectives: In the surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), laser enucleation of the prostate is recommended as an alternative to transurethral resection (TURP) and open prostatectomy (OP). The thulium fiber laser, with its superficial penetration depth, can offer a rapid learning process by causing less heat injury and capsule damage. This study compares the first 60 cases of an endourologist performing thulium fiber enucleation of the prostate (ThuFLEP) without a mentor to the results of OP and TURP performed by experienced surgeons. It also identifies the case number at which the operation time for ThuFLEP starts to plateau. Materials and Methods: Between 1 November 2021 and 1 November 2023, the initial 60 ThuFLEP cases of an endourologist with no prior enucleation experience were compared with TURP and OP operations performed by experienced surgeons. Since the first 60 ThuFLEP cases involved 80-120 cc prostates, TURP and OP operations within this size range performed during the same period were included in the study. The groups were assessed for age, preoperative and postoperative prostate volume, PSA levels, the IPSS, the IPSS Quality of Life (QoL), and maximum urinary flow (Qmax). The 60 consecutive ThuFLEP cases were divided into three groups of 20 (Groups 1, 2, and 3) and compared for operation time, IPSS, and Qmax. Results: The operation time for TURP was shorter than for ThuFLEP and OP (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference between ThuFLEP and OP in postoperative Qmax and IPSS, while TURP had lower values than the other two methods. For ThuFLEP, the operation time was longer in the first 20 cases but plateaued in groups 2 and 3 (p < 0.001). Postoperative Qmax and IPSS values showed no significant differences among the three ThuFLEP groups (p > 0.05). Conclusions: For large prostates, ThuFLEP provides better postoperative results than TURP and offers shorter catheterization and hospital stay times than OP. Its short learning curve makes it a preferable method for treating BPH compared to other laser techniques.

OBJECTIVE: To compare thulium laser enucleation of the prostate (ThuLEP) with plasma kinetic resection of the prostate (PKRP) in the treatment of BPH. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 160 cases of BPH treated by ThuLEP (the observation group, n = 80) or PKRP (the control group, n = 80) in our hospital from January 2021 to December 2023. We recorded the operation time, bladder irrigation time, catheter retention time, hospitalization time, postoperative complications, and pre- and postoperative maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax), residual urine volume (PVR), prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and prostate volume, followed by comparison of the data obtained between the two groups of patients. RESULTS: Compared with the controls, the patients of the observation group showed significantly shorter operation time (ï¼»67.25 ± 7.24ï¼½ vs ï¼»60.10 ± 5.15ï¼½ min, P< 0.05), bladder irrigation time (ï¼»46.90 ± 10.77ï¼½ vs ï¼»43.24 ± 6.65ï¼½ h, P< 0.05), catheterization time (ï¼»5.60 ± 1.31ï¼½ vs ï¼»5.03 ± 1.24ï¼½ d, P< 0.05) and hospitalization time (ï¼»7.31 ± 2.00ï¼½ vs ï¼»6.55 ± 1.67ï¼½ d, P< 0.05), higher Qmax (ï¼»18.50 ± 1.24ï¼½ vs ï¼»20.68 ± 1.45ï¼½ ml/s, P< 0.05), lower PVR (ï¼»12.10 ± 3.53ï¼½ vs ï¼»10.82 ± 3.10ï¼½ ml, P< 0.05), PSA (ï¼»4.60 ± 0.78ï¼½ vs ï¼»3.38 ± 0.40ï¼½ µg/L, P< 0.05) and prostate volume (ï¼»25.35 ± 6.46ï¼½ vs ï¼»20.12 ± 5.13ï¼½ ml, P< 0.05) at 3 months after surgery, but no statistically significant difference in the total incidence of postoperative complications (7.50% ï¼»6/80ï¼½ vs 5.00% ï¼»4/80ï¼½, P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: ThuLEP, with its advantages of notable effect, short operation and hospitalization time, significant improvement of urinary flow dynamics and prostate function, deserves clinical promotion for the treatment of BPH.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and transurethral columnar balloon dilatation of the prostate (TUCBDP) in the treatment of BPH. METHODS: This study included 218 BPH patients treated in Qinhuangdao Workers' Hospital from July 2021 to November 2022, 109 by TURP and the other 109 by TUCBDP. We followed up the patients for 12 months, observed their postoperative recovery, complications, serum pain, inflammatory index, cytokine level, urodynamic index, symptom improvement and quality of life (QOL) and compared the data obtained between the two groups of patients. RESULTS: At 12 months after surgery, the total effectiveness rate was significantly higher in the TUCBDP than in the TURP group (93.58% vs 84.40%, P< 0.05), and the postoperative recovery was better in the former than in the latter (P< 0.05). Compared with the baseline, the levels of serum prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), substance P, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were remarkably increased in both of the groups on the first day after surgery (P< 0.05), more significantly in the TURP than in the TUCBDP group (P< 0.05), while the levels of serum PSA and E2 decreased and the T level elevated in all the patients at 3 months postoperatively (P< 0.05), more significantly in the TUCBDP than in the TURP group (P< 0.05). Before and at 3 and 12 months after operation, the postvoid residual urine volume (PVR) and NIH-CPSI, IPSS and QOL scores showed a decreasing trend, while the maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax), maximum cystometric capacity (MCC) and maximum urethral closure pressure (MUCP) exhibited an increasing trend in both of the two groups, even more significantly in the TUCBDP than in the TURP group (P< 0.05). CONCLUSION: TUCBDP is advantageous over TURP in promoting postoperative recovery, improving QOL, reducing postoperative pain, inflammation and complications, regulating the levels of serum cytokines, and improving urodynamics and clinical symptoms in BPH patients. However, with the extension of postoperative time, the two strategies are basically comparable in improving the urodynamics, symptoms and QOL of the patients.

BACKGROUND: Benign prostatic hyperplasia unresponsive to medical treatment is an important problem for elderly patients. Although the gold standard surgical treatment is monopolar transurethral resection of the prostate (MTURP), postoperative complications are still a concern. AIM: The aim of this study was to determine which transurethral prostate resection (TURP) methods are more effective and safer in elderly patients. METHODS: Patients who underwent TURP in our clinic between 2012 and 2021 were analyzed retrospectively and divided into three groups according to their ages. Patients were treated with MTURP (n = 169) and bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate (BTURP) (n = 1152). Pre- and post-operative data for age groups were compared according to TURP methods. RESULTS: The resection speed in the BTURP method was statistically significantly faster in groups 2 and 3 (P < 0.05). Although not statistically significant (P > 0.05), there was a numerically smaller decrease in hemoglobin (Hb) value in group 2 and a numerically greater decrease in post-voiding residual (PVR) volume in groups 1 and 3 in the BTURP method. The increase in maximum urine flow (Qmax) was significantly higher only in group 2 (P = 0.032), but it was numerically higher in all groups in the BTURP method. CONCLUSION: The results of this study showed that BTURP was at least as effective and safe as MTURP in geriatric patients and also better in terms of Hb decrease, resection speed, Qmax increase, and PVR volume decrease.

Objective: To study the clinicopathological features, immunohistochemical phenotypes, molecular changes, differential diagnosis and prognosis of isolated intraductal carcinoma of the prostate (iIDC-P). Methods: Three iIDC-P cases were collected retrospectively from 2016 to 2022 at Ningbo Clinical Pathology Diagnosis Center, Ningbo, China. The clinicopathologic features and immunophenotypic profiles were studied using light microscopy and immunohistochemistry. A targeted next-generation sequencing panel was used to analyze cancer-associated mutations. Follow-up and literature review were also performed. Results: The patients' ages were 61, 67 and 77 years, and their preoperative prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels were 7.99, 7.99 and 4.86 µg/L, respectively. Case 1 and 2 were diagnosed on needle biopsy and radical prostatectomy (RP) specimens, and case 3 was diagnosed on a specimen of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). The RP specimen was entirely submitted for histologic examination. In the case 1, iIDC-P was found in one tissue core (involving two ducts) in the biopsy specimen, and in 6 sections (diameter, 0.3-1.1 cm) from the radical prostatectomy specimen, and one section had separate foci of low-grade acinar adenocarcinoma (diameter, 0.05 cm). In the case 2, 6 tissue sections from the biopsy specimens showed iIDC-P, and 13 sections from RP specimen showed iIDC-P (diameter, 0.5-1.6 cm), and the other 3 sections had separate low grade acinar adenocarcinoma (diameter, 0.6 cm). In the case 3, 5 tissue blocks from the TURP specimen showed iIDC-P. The case 1 and 2 showed solid architecture with expansile proliferation of neoplastic cells in native ducts and acini. The case 3 showed dense or loose cribriform pattern, with marked cytological atypia, and frequent mitotic figures. Comedonecrosis was found in solid or dense cribriform glands in the case 2. Immunohistochemically, surrounding basal cells were highlighted using high-molecular-weight cytokeratin (34ßE12 and CK5/6) and p63, while P504s was positive in the tumor cells. The tumor cells were also positive for AR and prostate markers (NKX3.1, PSA and PSAP), and negative for GATA3. The iIDC-P and acinar adenocarcinoma both showed weak PTEN expression and no ERG (nuclear) expression. In case 2 and 3, targeted sequencing revealed activated oncogenic driver mutations in MAPK and PI3K pathway genes (KRAS, MTOR and PTEN). In addition, pathogenic mutation in TP53 and FOXA1 mutation were found in the case 2 and 3, respectively. No case demonstrated TMPRSS2::ERG translocation. All cases were microsatellite stable and had lower tumor mutation burdens (range, 2.1-3.1 muts/Mb). The patients showed no biochemical recurrence or metastasis after follow-up of 16-91 months. Conclusions: iIDC-P is a special type of intraductal carcinoma of the prostate and differs from intraductal carcinoma within high-grade prostate cancer. iIDC-P has unique molecular characteristics and may represent as a molecularly unique in situ tumor of prostate cancer.

OBJECTIVE: The occurrence of prostate hyperplasia has increased remarkedly, especially in elderly patients; However, research on which surgical treatment is effective and safe for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in elderly people over 70 years old is limited. This study aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of transurethral plasma kinetic prostatectomy (TUPKP) and holmium laser enucleation of prostate (HoLEP) as a therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in the elderly. METHODS: A total of 148 patients with BPH admitted from December 2022 to December 2023 were chosen and divided into HoLEP (n = 74) and TUPKP (n = 74) groups according to the surgical operation. Perioperative related indexes, preoperative and postoperative international prostate symptom scores and life quality scores were compared between the two groups. The postoperative complications were also counted for the two groups. RESULTS: The HoLEP group had lower intraoperative bleeding, mean operative time, catheter indwelling time and hospital stays than the TUPKP group (p < 0.001). Before treatment, no significant difference in prostate symptom scores was found between the two groups (p > 0.05). After treatment, the prostate symptom scores in the HoLEP group were significantly lower than those in the TUPKP group (p < 0.001). However, the maximum urinary flow rate was significantly higher (p < 0.001) and the residual urine volume was significantly lower (p < 0.001) in the HoLEP group than in the TUPKP group after operation. The complication rate in the TUPKP group was 25.66%, which was significantly higher than the 9.46% in the HoLEP group (p < 0.05). The life quality scores of the HoLEP group were higher than those of the TUPKP group (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: HoLEP for BPH therapy is effective and safe with low incidence of postoperative complications.

PURPOSE: Despite advancements in prostate multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and fusion biopsy (FB), the management of incidental prostate cancer (IPCa) after surgery for benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) remains unclear. The aim of this retrospective study is to determine the prevalence of IPCa in our cohort and identify potential predictors for its occurrence. METHODS: We enrolled patients underwent TURP or simple prostatectomy for BPO at our high-volume center between January 2020-December 2022. Data on age, pre-operative total PSA (tPSA) and PSA density (PSAd) levels, prostate volume, previous MRI, biopsies, specimen weight, rates of positive tissue slices, ISUP score and three-month tPSA were collected. RESULTS: Of 454 patients with negative digital rectal examination who underwent BPO surgery, 74 patients (16.3%) were found to have IPCa. Of these, 33 patients (44.6%) had undergone previous mpMRI. Among the patients who had mpMRI, 23 had negative mpMRI results for suspected prostate cancer, while 10 had positive mpMRI findings (PIRADS ≥ 3) but no evidence of tumor upon FB. KW analysis indicates that PSAd was statistically associated with higher ISUP score, while at univariable regression analysis negative mpMRI (p = 0.03) was the only potential predictor for IPCa. CONCLUSIONS: Among the ISUP groups, PSAd showed a correlation with the tumor, while negative mpMRI was protective against clinically significant PCa. In the era of mpMRI and FB, the IPCa rates found at our center is higher than reported in existing literature and if it were confirmed with further studies, maybe there is a need for expansion in urology guidelines.

BACKGROUND: An intravesical gas explosion is a rare complication of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). It was first reported in English literature in 1926, and up to 2022 were only forty-one cases. Injury from an intravesical gas explosion, in the most severe cases appearing as extraperitoneal or intraperitoneal bladder rupture needed emergent repair surgery. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of a 75-year-old man who suffered an intravesical gas explosion during TURP. The patient underwent an emergent exploratory laparotomy for bladder repair and was transferred to the intensive care unit for further observation and treatment. Under the medical team's care for up to sixty days, the patient recovered smoothly without clinical sequelae. CONCLUSIONS: This case report presents an example of a rare complication of intravesical gas explosion during TURP, utilizing root cause analysis (RCA) to comprehend causal relationships and team strategies and tools to improve performance and patient safety (TeamSTEPPS) method delivers four teamwork skills that can be utilized during surgery and five recommendations to avoid gas explosions during TURP to prevent the recurrence of medical errors. In modern healthcare systems, promoting patient safety is crucial. Once complications appear, RCA and TeamSTEPPS are helpful means to support the healthcare team reflect and improve as a team.

BACKGROUND: Transurethral holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) has a good therapeutic effect on benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy of HoLEP in the treatment of high-risk elderly patients with BPH and assess its impact on the inflammatory response, vascular endothelial function and quality of life (QoL). METHODS: Patients at high risk of BPH who were hospitalised in Chengde Central Hospital from February 2021 to December 2022 were retrospectively selected as the study objects, and a total of 100 cases were included. The control group underwent transurethral resection of the prostate, and the observation group underwent HoLEP. Perioperative indexes, urodynamic indexes, QoL 6 months after surgery and incidence of postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Moreover, serum levels of inflammatory factors and vascular endothelial factors were detected in two groups. RESULTS: We found no significant difference in general data between the two groups of patients (p > 0.05). The operation time, perioperative bleeding, bladder flushing time and hospitalisation time of the observation group were significantly shorter than those of the control group (p < 0.05). On the 7th day after surgery, the serum levels of tumour necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-1ß, interleukin-6, vascular endothelial growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor and endothelin-1 in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (p < 0.05). Six months after surgery, the maximal urinary flow rate and QoL scores of the patients in the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group (p < 0.05), and the residual urine volume and International Prostate Symptom Score of observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group (p < 0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (χ2 = 7.440, p = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS: HoLEP can effectively remove hyperplasia of the prostate and reduce the inflammatory response in the patient's body when treating BPH in high-risk elderly patients. It can also regulate the levels of vascular endothelial factors and effectively improve the patient's QoL.

PURPOSE: This study compares the peri-operative and functional outcomes of three distinct surgical techniques in Thulium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (ThuLEP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The main aim is to assess whether the En-bloc, Three-lobe, and Two-lobe techniques have differential effects on surgical efficacy and patient outcomes. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients undergoing ThuLEP for BPH between January 2019 and January 2024 at two tertiary centers. Propensity score matching was utilized to balance baseline characteristics among patients undergoing the different techniques. Surgical parameters, including operative time, enucleation time, morcellation time, energy consumption, and postoperative outcomes, were compared among the groups. RESULTS: Following propensity score matching, 213 patients were included in the analysis. Intraoperative analysis revealed significantly shorter enucleation, laser enucleation, morcellation and operative times and total energy delivered in the En-bloc and Two-lobe groups compared to the Three-lobe group. No significant differences were observed among the groups in terms of intraoperative and postoperative complications. There were no significant differences in functional outcomes at the 3-month follow-up among the groups. CONCLUSION: The findings of this study suggest that while the En-bloc and Two-lobe techniques may offer efficiency benefits and could be considered safe alternatives in ThuLEP procedures, the reduction in laser enucleation time and energy delivered did not necessarily translate into improvements in post operative storage symptoms or other functional outcomes for the patients. Surgeon preference and proficiency may play a crucial role in selecting the most suitable technique for individual patients. Future research should focus on larger-scale prospective studies to further validate these findings and explore potential factors influencing surgical outcomes.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between heart failure (HF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and smoking with the development of urethral stricture (US) by examining the patients who underwent transurethral prostate resection procedure, with and without the development of US in their follow-ups. METHODS: Among the patients who underwent transurethral resection of the prostate, 50 patients who developed US during their follow-ups formed group 1, while a total of 50 patients who did not develop US and were selected by lot formed group 2. The relationship between the patients' data on HF, COPD and smoking status and the development of US was investigated. RESULTS: The mean number of cigarettes smoked was statistically significantly high in the group with stricture (p = 0.007). Furthermore, pulmonary function test parameters of patients such as forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and FEV1/FVC were found to be statistically significantly higher in Group 2 (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, and p = 0.008, respectively). In the logistic regression analysis, being a smoker was found to be the strongest predictor (p = 0.032). CONCLUSION: Our study concluded that smoking, HF, and COPD significantly increase the risk of developing stricture after transurethral resection of the prostate.
OBJETIVO: Evaluar la relación de la insuficiencia cardiaca, la enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica y el tabaquismo con el desarrollo de estenosis de uretra en pacientes sometidos a resección transuretral de próstata con y sin desarrollo de estenosis de uretra en su seguimiento. MÉTODO: Cincuenta pacientes que desarrollaron estenosis de uretra durante su seguimiento formaron el grupo 1, y 50 pacientes que no desarrollaron estenosis de uretra y fueron seleccionados por lote formaron el grupo 2. Se investigó la relación de los datos de los pacientes sobre insuficiencia cardiaca, enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica y tabaquismo con el desarrollo de estenosis uretral. RESULTADOS: La media de cigarrillos fumados fue significativamente más alta en el grupo con estenosis (p = 0.007). Además, se encontró que los parámetros de las pruebas de función pulmonar de los pacientes, como FEV1, FVC y FEV1/FVC, eran significativamente más altos en el grupo 2 (p < 0.001, p < 0.001 y p = 0.008, respectivamente). CONCLUSIONES: El tabaquismo, la insuficiencia cardiaca y la enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica aumentan significativamente el riesgo de desarrollar estenosis después de una resección transuretral de próstata.
